While there are still six months until the end of the financial year, a change to the car allowance tax deduction method of claim means you need to be thinking about how you use your car for work right now. Previously there were four ways you could claim back your car expenses as part of your individual tax return, however two of them no longer exist. To make sure you are able to easily deduct your vehicle expenses this year, these are the points you need to know. Abolished Car Allowance Tax…

Without the genius inventions brought to the surface by Lawrence Sperry, we would not have been able to advance in our knowledge of aviation–or fly once it became dark outside. Autopilot, as defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is “a device for automatically steering ships, aircraft, and spacecraft”. Mr. Sperry is the man who brought this device–made by his father and improved by him–into the aviation world, which was an enormous leap in the process of improving airplanes. He had reduced…

Growing up in Texas near two Air Force Bases and two Army/National Guard Camps lead my life to be influenced by members of the armed services. One of my earliest memories was being taken to an airshow that was taking place in my home town where their modern military planes and WW2 planes were demonstrating their capabilities. It was that day that started my road down aviation. Later on, I joined the Boy Scouts of America. Through the Boy Scouts and the Civil Air Patrol, I learned what being a…

Neil Armstrong was first getting interested in flying when he was five years old thats when he started to make models of airplanes. When he was six years old that is when he first got to fly in a airplane. When he was 15 years old he had his pilot license before he got his drivers license. The rocket x-5 was the fastest airplane in the world and Neil Armstrong got to fly it as a test pilot. After he was in the Korean war that is when he got to fly the x-5 rocket. Neil Armstrong went…

Did you know that retired Ironman triathlete Peter Reid now flies seaplanes for a living? If you’re a plane enthusiast who desires to fly a real plane in the future, you might want to consider pursuing triathlon as a hobby first before you make the giant leap. Why? It’s because pilots and athletes share the same “adventure factor,” and several athletes routinely fly. For example, Tony Stewart, Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth all work the cockpit in the Nextel Cup circuit. But since triatheletes…

0 (a) The arrears rate for all (BTL) mortgages shows the total (BTL) number of mortgages over three months in arrears as a proportion of the total (BTL) number of outstanding mortgages. Data are semi-annual up to end-2007 and quarterly since then. Non seasonally adjusted. (b) The possessions rate for all (BTL, owner-occupied) mortgages shows the total (BTL, owner-occupied) number of properties taken into possession over the preceding twelve-month period as a proportion of the total (BTL,…

acts as fuel tanks and allows inspection and maintenance. Using the skin to carry part of the loads is called stressed skin. Almost all aircraft have their wing structure made entirely in metal, or a mixture of metal and composite. The skin may be fixed to the internal structure by rivets or bonding. The volume between the spars is often used for storing fuel. An alternative to attaching stringers to the skin for stiffness is a machined skin, in which the skin, stringers and spar flanges can be…

As I stood there, I could remember the day we moved in like it was yesterday. The house had been so beautiful, so large, so new, and I couldn’t believe it was mine. The day we had signed the papers, my husband had given me a nervous look and I had known exactly what he was thinking. ‘Are we sure we can afford this?’ The same thought had been bouncing around in my head too, a nagging feeling weighing down the excitement of owning a new home. My husband and I both worked full time, but even with…

Kishan Patel Section: 008 Pattern: Falling velocity and the dispersal ability of a glider seed varies with its surface area. • Hypothesis 1: Increase in surface area of the seeds decreases their falling velocity, due to greater air resistance o Prediction: Seeds with the higher surface area will have a decreased falling velocity. o Reasoning: The greater the surface area of a seed, the more air resistance it experiences and thereby slowing its fall.  Analytical Approach: scatterplot,…

Cirrus vs Cessna Flying a Cessna is great experience. Flying a Cirrus is a spectacular experience. Although both of these are aircrafts that do the same thing, they are very different. Technology has come a long way in aviation and especially in the new 2017 cirrus. Comparing to the 1970’s Cessna’s which is the common aircrafts flown right now, there has been a huge noticeable difference in design and innovation. One of many differences in the Cirrus compared to the Cessna, is the avionics.…
